Youth will soon be the largest demographic in the world, with predictions that they will account for 40% of the global population by the year 2028.

As we invest in the future of our nation by providing every young person with equal opportunity, we hope to achieve the larger objectives of enhancing social mobility and reducing elitism.

Why Youth

THE HALOGENS ARE A HIGHLY REACTIVE GROUP OF ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE USED FOR GOOD, BUT ALSO CAN BE POTENTIALLY TOXIC IF NOT USED RIGHT.

Why Halogen

THROUGH OUR EFFORTS IN BUILDING AN ENDURING AND DYNAMIC CULTURE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN SINGAPORE, YOUTH WILL BE EMPOWERED TO CREATE A BETTER FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILIES AND SINGAPORE.

The filament of the modern Halogen light bulb is surrounded by a Halogen gas compound. The gas protects the filament and provides the conditions for it to burn hotter, longer and brighter than ever before. Hence, our logo represents a halogen light bulb. Just like the Halogens, we believe in empowering our youth to be a positive influence, empowering them to practically change the world in issues they believe in.

I believe the skills that I have picked up from Halogen can be carried into the workforce. From my experience, I can curate content and solutions that address my beneficiaries’ needs better and more accurately. Besides that, the different types of audience that I have worked with will also set me apart in terms of understanding how they work and how to reach them.

ADALENE CHUA, YEAR 3 STUDENT, NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC, DIPLOMA IN BUSINESS & SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, HALOGEN INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME (2017)

The industry is evolving and teachers may not have the most updated reality. Thus, having industry volunteers come in provides a more realistic check for the students. The skills-based approach is more manageable and provides more focus and direction for both the students and volunteers. Hearing from people in the field gives a different perspective. Combined with the skills taught, this makes it more relevant for the students as we prepare them to be more ready of what is expected of them.

LYNN KWEH, EDUCATOR, BEDOK GREEN SECONDARY SCHOOL

I feel that Halogen Foundation has created a fantastic environment which empowers students to think big and develop a wide range of lifelong skills. I found the process of passing on my business knowledge to budding entrepreneurs and witnessing a rapid improvement to be a very rewarding experience. I would definitely like to be involved in future programs and continue to help students unleash their potential.

Chairman’s Foreword

Halogen Foundation Singapore had a great year in 2017 and it was only possible with the kind and generous support from many like-minded partners like yourselves, who believe in the vision of our cause. Every young person should be given the opportunity to be inspired and empowered to know that they are worthy, they matter and they can make a difference. Yet, dissimilar starting points of youth from different family backgrounds often prevent them from rising to their fullest potential. Halogen Foundation seeks to uplift youths from poor, needy, challenged, disadvantaged and marginalised families, and/or those who are at risk. Through our proven leadership and entrepreneurship programmes, we aim to give them a better head start in life to build their careers and futures.

smart and taking pride in their work attire. I saw in the students a glimpse of the adults that they would become.” This is one such impact story that exemplifies why we do what we do. Such transformative work is hard work, and would not have been possible if not for the many contributions from the people who believe in our cause. We engaged up to 500 volunteers in the course of our programmes in 2017. I sincerely thank each and every one of you for contributing your gifts of time, sharing your varied talents and invaluable insights, as coaches, mentors, speakers, and judging panelists for the students. I would also like to make a special mention of donors such as Credit Suisse, UBS, ExcelPoint, Goldbell, Tata Communications, and Neo Group, who have steadfastly supported us in our growth in the past few years and for their generous donations. You are truly exemplifying what it means to be a “Company of Good”. Singapore’s nation-building efforts are continual, and as our fourth-generation leaders take the helm in leading our country forward, our youths - and the energy, dreams, and promise they bring - will be an important part of our collective progress. As we celebrate Halogen Foundation’s 15th anniversary this year, I am heartened to see the organisation grow from strength to strength, and pressing on to overcome fresh challenges in the VUCA landscape of our evolving economy. From our very first office set up from the balcony of our co-founder’s home, we have now grown into a 20-man team, housed in the heartland of a heritage-filled Chinatown. We have almost doubled our staff strength and tripled our office size from 2013, and as we grow in scale of operations, so will our energy and aspirations.

In the next 3 to 5 years, Halogen Foundation aims to continue expanding our reach to support more youth who are underserved and need a platform to grow and shine. We have charted a few key areas, including:

Having witnessed our 60-hour Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) programme, which we run with underserved youth in schools and youth institutions, Mr. Lim Yu Kee, Principal of Bedok Green Secondary School shared, “During the programme, I saw students who hardly uttered a word in their years in school, having the confidence to present to complete strangers. I saw students who struggled when teachers threw them questions in school, not losing a beat when grilled by the panelists. I saw students who have to be constantly reminded about their grooming, looking

Inequality and social stratification in society can tear the social fabric of Singapore. We sincerely believe that Halogen Foundation can play a part, however small, to contribute to the larger objectives of enhancing social mobility and reducing elitism in our nation. Our work also contributes to the larger objective of developing a stronger, more vibrant and more sustainable entrepreneurship culture in Singapore. We will need this critical mass of large local companies with large global footprints, to complement foreign investments, so that we can continue to achieve acceptable economic growth and provide our citizens with a better quality of life, and if not, to at least maintain the status quo. In this regard, it is important that we start with our youths; to inculcate more of them with an entrepreneurial mindset and to encourage more of them to consider to become entrepreneurs. My Board and I will continue to partner with the private, public, and people sectors to seek greater support and more active participation to achieve these goals. We will invest efforts in reaching out to even more businesses and individuals to join us in this very fulfilling and rewarding journey - to transform our youths to believe in themselves, to lead others, and to bring positive change to the world in issues that they believe in. I urge you to join us in this movement, for our collective contribution can make a significant difference in the future of this country, starting with our young.

Scaling up our leadership and entrepreneurship outreach for youth and youth influencers,

Creating a platform that integrates leadership, entrepreneurship, and mentorship to offer a more holistic framework to transform more of our youths into more socially and economically responsible individuals, perhaps being the first IPC charity with this model,

Reaching out to more companies in creating more platforms to embark on youth development work such as apprenticeship and roundtable programmes,

Leveraging on digital technology to increase access to our quality content; and

Establishing signature partnerships with tertiary and secondary institutions and other Social Service Organisations to build a robust ecosystem of support for our youths, especially for those in need.

From the CEO’s Desk

youth entities invested in bringing systems change to their internal youth ecosystem. We continue to catalyse and nurture friendships amongst cross-sector entities, such as that between corporations, youths, and schools. We have witnessed how long-term partnerships between corporates and schools have allowed us to create a wholesome experience for students. We are now investing time and resources in growing more out-of-classroom programmes helmed by our corporate partners. These new platforms for learning come in forms of post-programme business visits, apprenticeship programmes, and roundtable programmes. We have kept up our work with schools in running their leadership and entrepreneurship programmes over multiple fiscal years. Beyond running the programme cycles for new cohorts of youth, we are deepening youth journeys by building upon the existing programme structures. We have introduced mentorship programmes to groups of youth, providing personal and professional growth opportunities to build upon what the individuals may have learnt. In the near future, we hope to offer an integrated leadership, entrepreneurship and mentorship programme to provide a well-rounded and solid transformation journey for a youth in need. Maintaining the right fundamentals will keep us anchored to our roots and core expertise; the new

Investing 15 years in the youth development scene has not been an easy task for us, particularly as it required us to stretch ourselves in many directions – growing our strength as an organisation, rallying groups of supporters towards our cause, navigating the ever-evolving terrain of youth, Singapore and the global landscape. Change is the only constant. As we strive to build a lasting organisation that can endure the test of time – so as to continue our mission and work in impacting young people – we too are constantly learning, growing, tooling and retooling. The key to sustainable progress will be to walk the balance of preserving what is core to us (such as our values and purpose) with what is to change (such as our goals, strategies, and operating practices) so as to adapt to the new challenges presented before us. Over the past year, Halogen Foundation has worked on building existing foundations and introducing new elements for growth. We continue to equip educators, youth workers, and other youth influencers like yourselves with quality content and meaningful tools for your own youth programme implementations. What is new, is our venture into tackling organisation-wide framework development through our consultation process. By taking on a broader problem statement in the youth development challenge, we now extend our support to

Halogen Foundation seeks to understand youth development goals to better partner you in designing, developing and delivering content that will be beneficial for both your students and educators.

The Halogen Cycle

The Halogen Cycle

Every organisation has unique needs. The ability to accurately pinpoint developmental gaps will help in generating concise

solutions with maximum impact. Here, we conduct a

needs analysis to identify key gaps between expectations and

applications.

Assessment informs us if a plan or strategy is successful.

Assessment data helps to generate a momentum

of progress while keeping accountability for the impact that is currently happening.

An action plan should have both strategic and pragmatic outcomes.

We close the identified gaps through action plans ranging

from building competencies to establishing a common language in your organisation. You will be able to maximise your time and

budget while achieving your youth development outcomes.

We begin by finding out more about the existing

leadership /entrepreneurship development framework. This provides insight to how well the existing model is serving

the school.

As such, we have developed a comprehensive framework that integrates youth learning into your organisation in a clear and concerted effort.

In 2017, Halogen Foundation Singapore partnered with Hua Yi Secondary School to consult and co-create a framework that would support the school’s desired values and student outcomes.

WE CO-CREATED A SET OF CURRICULA FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AS PART OF THEIR LEARNING FOR LIFE PROGRAMME (LLP).

The LLP is a nationwide applied learning programme that is implemented across all levels of the school. Through the use of the Halogen Cycle, we strategised and customised programmes that would undergird Hua Yi Secondary School’s leadership framework. Using The Leadership Challenge® by Kouzes and Posner as its leadership framework for student

leadership development, the concept of leadership was deconstructed into practices and behaviours, allowing Hua Yi Secondary School to design specific lessons for more applicability and relevance. Hua Yi Secondary School also took on our resident entrepreneurship programme, Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), that focuses on uplifting young people to give them a better head start in life and to build their careers and futures. As part of this strategy, we have also crafted an evaluation rubric to assess the effectiveness of the programmes in view of six student outcomes. This would result in exigencies that therefore better address some of these issues and allow the school’s management to better plan for the upcoming years ahead. A consolidated metric score on the total result will show how Hua Yi Secondary School has met their goals from the developmental plan.

As a youth development partner, we support organisations by moulding young people in their leadership and entrepreneurship development.

From consultations in designing development frameworks to content contextualisation and training trainers to execute programmes, we aim to establish a foundation for our partners to build upon and transform their young people.

By being a catalyst in bringing the people, private, and public sector together, we hope to build an ecosystem to nurture our next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs.

HALOGEN

At Halogen Foundation, we recognise that success is founded upon developing sustainable collaborations with like-minded partners. Just as we are all interdependent in an ecosystem, we believe in connecting partners across different sectors together for a common goal, providing all-rounded support to youth from poor and needy families. In bridging the education, corporate, skills building & enterprise sector, social service, and youth sectors, various partners can contribute to the youth development goals in their respective areas of expertise and bring incremental value to the programme support offered to the youth. Our success is only made possible because of the collective investment from the members of this ecosystem.

With plans to set up an official Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) chapter in 2015, Tata Communications International Pte Ltd first approached Halogen Foundation with the desire to help resolve some of the fundamental concerns of the community they serve. With ‘Education’ and ‘Employability & Sustainable Livelihoods’ being their priority areas,

TATA COMMUNICATIONS SEEKS TO EMPOWER YOUTH WITH THE RELEVANT SKILLS THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO BE INDUSTRY-READY, AS WELL AS HAVING THE RIGHT ATTITUDE AND VALUES TO ENHANCE THEIR FUTURE PROSPECTS. Starting off with hosting a business visit for our students on the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) programme, Tata Communications gave students a peek into the working world. Through further exposure to the programme, they soon found that the programme was well-aligned with their CSR objectives. As such, they made the decision to commit to the long-term development of these youths by adopting Evergreen Secondary School through the NFTE programme in 2016. Since then, their volunteers have been actively coaching NFTE students, providing valuable insight for their business plans and bringing corporate experience into the classroom. A virtual exchange between the NFTE students and students of one of their NGO partners in India was also organised to truly harness the global dimension of Tata Communications. With the partnership going into its third year, Tata Communications has demonstrated that a long-term commitment benefits both their organisation and the institution. Tata Communication’s CSR committee has seen tremendous strides of growth in its various

initiatives, and a similar degree of impact has been observed in Evergreen Secondary School as well. Amongst various testimonies from students that highlight their growing confidence and transformation, the partnership between Tata Communications and Evergreen Secondary School has seen a greater impact on the students with the last two winners of the annual NFTE Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge coming from this school.

The volunteers from Tata Communications have given much needed support to our students by challenging them to think critically about their ideas. With this partnership, they have brought valuable corporate perspectives to the NFTE programme that us as teachers might overlook. I appreciate the open and friendly approach they have taken with our students, which has led to the building of strong rapport over time.

My favourite part of the NFTE programme was actually interacting with the volunteers. Zac, my mentor from Tata Communications, was very supportive - even coming for my NYEC finals! At the beginning of the NFTE journey, I didn’t know how to start on my business plan or make any choices, but he gave me valuable advice that helped me. He even motivated me during the times when I wanted to quit and taught me to look at failure as a stepping stone rather than a setback. I owe my achievements to many people, and the volunteers are definitely part of that.

DARIRAH BINTE MOHD FADZIL, NYEC 2017 WINNER, EVERGREEN SECONDARY SCHOOL

From this collaboration, we have seen amazing transformation in the students from being low in confidence to aspiring for greater things, simply through words of encouragement and structured guidance. As this partnership has evolved in the last three years, there are more students accepting the programme, and we have also found the opportunity to share our stories of growth while introducing the importance of technology to these future leaders.

As part of their integrated philanthropic approach, Salesforce.org has been actively partnering with Halogen Foundation through their 1/1/1 model - 1% Equity, 1% Product, and 1% Employees’ Time - to give back to communities around the world.

to gain experience in a high-growth industry and progress training into full-time employment. Halogen Foundation is also a co-leader of the Salesforce Non-Profit Usergroup, a community of users who come together to share knowledge, challenges, and best practices in using the Salesforce solution. As a recipient of Salesforce non-profit user licences and the Salesforce.org grants, we are able to leverage these tools to improve customer relationship management with our stakeholders, ensuring that they are better informed to partner with us to make a greater impact in the work we do and further our respective non-profit mission and vision for the greater good. Salesforce.org is also a corporate partner in our Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) programme. Since adopting one of our schools, they have been actively involved and committed to journeying with our students, inviting students to their offices for business visits as well as spending time with them for corporate work sessions. These long-term engagements have created lasting impact with our students and we have seen these students grow in their character, mindsets, and skill sets.

SINCE 2012, HALOGEN FOUNDATION HAS PARTNERED WITH SALESFORCE.ORG TO RUN ITS ANNUAL SALESFORCE BIZACADEMY PROGRAMME.

In the week-long programme, we create an environment that facilitates mentoring and personal development between the Salesforce employees and the students. Incorporating leadership training and hands-on real-world business experience, participants get a preview of the corporate world and learn the mechanics behind this global enterprise. The programme serves youth from under-resourced and/or low-income communities

Volunteering with Halogen is a rewarding experience both personally and professionally. I get the chance to learn together with the youths about entrepreneurship, such as building innovative business use case to satisfy the demand of goods and services in the modern day life, at the same time I get to improve my mentoring skill too. Thank you Halogen for giving Salesforce.org the opportunity to contribute back to the society.

MEILINDA TJAN, SOLUTION ENGINEER, SALESFORCE.ORG

I’ve been teaching low progress learners for more than a decade and I can safely say that having the support of Salesforce.org volunteers for these NT students is priceless, especially when observing the experience and guidance that they provide towards the students. These students do not get many opportunities to interact with working professionals, so these personal mentorships with the Salesforce.org volunteers give the students more vision not just for these business ideas, but their lives.

MUHD SHAHROM, SUBJECT HEAD (NORMAL TECHNICAL), HOLY INNOCENTS’ HIGH SCHOOL

“ I am extremely grateful for the Salesforce BizAcademy programme and the mentors I had, as they helped me define personal goals, gave me advice on my next steps, and taught me practical skills for future employment such as website design, system technology, and more. Until today, I still text one of my mentors for advice! Through this experience, I received a head start on the internships and short-term jobs that I have done during my school holidays.

Spark Fund

The success and breakthroughs of Halogen Foundation have only been made possible through the generous support from different partners and organisations.

In 2015, Halogen Foundation set up the Spark Fund to recognise the contributions made towards our cause of youth development, specifically toward uplifting youth by making our leadership and entrepreneurship programmes accessible to them. These contributions are either donations or grants given to us, allowing us to increase our impact amongst youth. Donor tiers are based on their cumulative contributions over the most recent three financial years at Halogen Foundation. The tiers are rolling tallies, with the exception of Spark Honour Hall and Spark Funding Circle.

SPARK FOUNDING CIRCLE

As part of the launch of the Spark Fund, donors who have contributed S$25,000 and above within the year 2015 will be recognised as members of the Spark Founding Circle.

Our Policies

CONFLICT OF INTERESTHalogen has adopted a Conflict of Interest Policy to ensure all Board members and staff act in the best interest of the organisation.

The policy aims to protect Halogen and its members from any appearance of impropriety. It mandates that all Board members and staff must exercise the highest duty of care and judgment when dealing with matters relating to Halogen, and to disclose all interests (commitment, investment, relationship, obligation, involvement, financial or otherwise), which may be a potential conflict of interest. The policy provides procedures and guidelines on how conflict of interest situations are to be handled.

All Board members and staff are to complete a declaration at the beginning of their service as well as make a new declaration on an annual basis or when there are any changes.

WHISTLE BLOWINGHalogen is committed to a high standard of compliance with accounting, financial reporting, internal controls, auditing requirements and does not tolerate any malpractice, impropriety, statutory non-compliance or wrongdoing by staff in the course of their work. In line with this commitment, the Whistle Blowing Policy aims to provide an avenue for employees, volunteers and external parties to raise concerns and promote responsible and secure whistleblowing without fear of adverse consequences. This Policy is meant to protect genuine whistleblowers from any unfair treatment as a result of their report.

RESERVES POLICYHalogen seeks to achieve a reserve level of 3 years of operating costs to ensure stability and continuity of the services we provide. The amount of reserves is regularly reviewed by our Board to ensure that we have adequate reserves to fulfil our continuous obligations.

PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION ACT (PDPA) POLICYHalogen respects the privacy of our donors, sponsors, partners and volunteers. As such, we are committed to abide by the PDPA policy, using the personal information to engage our donors, sponsors, partners and volunteers. They may, at anytime, choose to be removed from our mailing lists. Donors’ names and particulars will not be used in any materials without permission from the donors.

CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCTAll Board members shall be committed to achieving the highest level of professionalism and integrity in the discharge of their positions.

All staff are required to conduct dealings with each other, suppliers, external organisations and the public at large with total honesty and integrity and to do their utmost to maintain the reputation and corporate image of the organisation at all times.
